Logged out of the Dropbox app and back in and now I have a 'Dropbox (old)' and a 'Dropbox' folder
Application Affected Synching files Device PC Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Windows Desktop
Question or Issue Had a fun...
I've had this issue for a few weeks now. It is STAGGERING how unbelievably trash the Dropbox setup is.
I log in, specify what files I want synced, and I immediately get logged out. It then reboots the app, and tells me to rename the Dropbox folder (as if it's a new setup). This loops forever.
How this kind of error is allowed by an organization as big as Dropbox, I will never understand.

If this was a widespread issue caused by an error in the application, then these forums would be filled with A LOT more people reporting the issue. Typically, something like this is more likely to be a problem with the specific installation or something similar, and not an indicator of a widespread issue.

Have you tried an advanced reinstall, as Jay suggested above?
